I'm searching for many forum and blog official or non official but no one confirm for sure moto g getting 4.4.4 update. But only officially announced update of 4.4.3. Is Google forgetting this device for ever? if this happen than it is bad because when we purchased it, the only reason for it is a Google company.
Okay, if Google run away, I'm going for cm11 for sure. I love to be updated.

Hrazib, Don't worry at all, i think Moto G and also other motorola phones will continue to get the major updates. No need to panic Well you know i am very impatient so i am already on 4.4.4 But don't worry the official update will come soon!

Considering that google will most likely unveil 4.5 in two days at their I/O conference - we might just jump ship straight to 4.5, skipping 4.4.4.
guess we'll find out soon enough
Calm freakin' down. We have 4.4.3!!!
Enviado desde mi Moto G mediante Tapatalk
We do not need a 4.4.4 update....
Most OEM's would skip this update and jump to the 4.5 Lollipop
Although I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola releases it on a later date
For solving all doubts join here:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/MotoGOOGLE/
No need to make new thread every rumour etc. Not many devices have even 4.2.2 so let's be happy and wait calmly what comes. :tired:

^ and the fact that we still are just behind the nexus devices to receive updates. So please wait before posting a new thread.....
People are SO impatient these days, geeeeez…
It's not a major update. Please have patience, your moto device will be updated.

4.4.4 is a serious security update. Motorola is certainly pushing the update through the channels now. It is less than 3mb on the Nexus devices so it is a very small update. It has only been out a few days. Motorola had lots of time to prepare for 4.4.3. That is why it was pushed so quick.
Use more exclamation marks please. Also make a new discussion thread every time you get mad too.
Go scrub your lolindian or lolbr with CM11 and don't bother us with useless and meaningless threads.

Even if it was.....
Samsung don't even update their galaxy smart phones as Motorola does to its budget phones. We should wait instead of creating new threads. If it was so important it should have posted in the host of general threads out there
Come on man, this device even not get a year old yet.. So relaxe and waiting hopely

Motorola Mobility is still a Google company. Lenovo does not control Motorola Mobility yet.
I cant wait for the new Chromecast features and waiting to see if Moto X gets L
Project Volta waiting for it i think moto x would get or i would flash a custom

Moto X will definetly get the Android L (probably its last update) .
The question is if we will be getting a dev preview too or just when it releases in October.

I know, but maybe companies have access to the source code.
I could only hope Motorola can make a dev preview for us too. I know it is a long shot, but I can only dream.
Regardless, all APKs will be taken out of the Nexus 5 preview and will probably work for every phone (new Gmail for exemple).

Yeah, I'm hoping too, but at least we'll have some APKs to play with. Maybe someone will ape some features via Xposed too. I love having new toys, like a brand new OS, but I am so happy with the current form of my Moto X that I won't be completely bummed if even the developer edition Moto X devices don't see a preview release.

I can't wait to use the new keyboard as well. It looked really good.
I'm waiting the moto 360 for now!!
If moto X doesn't update to the latest android L, I definetly flash a custom ROM or buy a nexus phone
I think it's quite likely that the X will get Android L when it's done, as even the Moto E is promised to get it. There will always be CyanogenMod and thelike, but I won't give up touchless controls and active notifications :/
As for the beta - Don't think so, but one can hope. Maybe kind of like motorola's soak-tests.
Punti from Motorola is on record as saying that the Moto X, G and I assume the E. ...will be supported for two years guranteed...
He even responded to one of my posts on G+ in which he confirmed it.

http://www.computerworld.com/articl...d-upgrade-report-card-marshmallow.html?page=2
A BIG FAT "F"
Length of time for upgrade to reach current flagship: 65 days (51.6/60 points)
Length of time for upgrade to reach previous-gen flagship: 74 days for the unlocked model -- though with all U.S. carrier models abandoned (0/30 points)
Communication: Poor (0/10 points)
An Android manufacturer has never fallen as fast and hard as what we've seen with Motorola these past couple years. In a matter of months, Moto went from being the shining example of what an Android device-maker should be to being a bitter disappointment Android fans won't soon forgive. (So much for that "nothing will change" transition in ownership, right?)
Following last year's 65% "D" grade for Android upgrades, the Lenovo-owned Motorola gets a big fat embarrassing "F" for the mess it made of this year's Marshmallow rollout. While it did do a reasonably decent (though nowhere near the standard it had maintained in the past) job at getting Android 6.0 out to its current and previous-gen flagships, it did so with one major asterisk: the outright abandonment of all U.S. carrier models of its barely-one-year-old 2014 device.
Worse yet, Motorola stayed insultingly silent on the subject, without so much as an explanation -- let alone any sort of attempt to make things right with customers who had bought into its "ongoing reliable upgrades" message. It was a slap in the face to those who trusted the company, and even if Motorola recovers and manages to do decently well moving forward, it's an incident smartphone shoppers would be wise to remember.
They were excellent when it came to 2013 devices...but those were before the Lenovo takeover if I remember correctly

In the past days the MOTO always says the Verzion Carrier test so long a time,just like droid1/2/3/4 and xt910/926/1030 and so on..
Now its becoming a department of lenovo, i dont think there are still enough development guys who can work with Verzion ones...
So i doubt the 6.0 would finally come with a final-final day or never come out
I really think we won't see it, like the Moto X Play 2014. We'll just get an out-of-the-blue message saying "SORRY". My next phone will be a Nexus, i'm done with Motonovo
Yep, l thinking about a Nexus myself, and see what Project Fi is all about. Sick of Verizon also.
Yea i'm on the same boat as you guys. Nexus may be my next phone.
im still not ready to leave my turbo, i dont need their updates. we have our own right here.

In some cases it may be VZW holding things up...but the 2013 Droids received their updates faster than any phones outside of the Nexus devices...
That was in the Google days, and when Moto first started using the near Vanilla builds of Android...
They are still as close to Vanilla as you can get, but what has changed is Lenovo...
So you do the math

I think people need to realize it's not motos fault! Talk to Verizon about your updates because Verizon does in fact add their bloat apps which in turn takes longer. Google has in fact release the source code for mm. Just disappoints me to see people hating on moto over something they have little to no control over.

No, both are equally at fault. If it were only on Verizon then the non Turbo branded quark devices would already be updated.

VZW had no problem pushing the updates for the 2013 Droids...they were the first non-nexus phones to get updates...
Wanna know what the difference was? Those phones were made when Google owned Motorola...our phones are under the control of Lenovo...
I have no love for VZW...and while they may slow things down in many cases, the fact remains...if a quality update is delivered to them, they will push it out...
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
Not quite Metfanant the MotoX 2013 got updated quickly but the Droid Maxx/Ultra always lagged way behind.
In the case of the Turbo all of the other major 2014 flagships on Verizon such as G3, Galaxy S5, One M8 have seen updates to Android M. These are also all older devices than Turbo which makes it even worse. The reality is that the overall user experience will be very similar to what we have now but we at least deserve the bug fixes and security patches with the latest OS.

The Moto X update to Kit Kat was pushed out starting Nov 19th according to this article...and it was the FIRST to get it...
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...ryone-by-updating-its-moto-x-to-kitkat-first/
Just a month later the update had finished soak testing and was starting to get pushed to the Droid line...
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/12/1...-4-kit-kat-update-starting-today/#more-127805
I wouldn't call that lagging way behind at all...it was still quicker than most phones...
As I've always said...VZW sucks, but they had no problem getting updates out to Moto devices when Google ran the show...so I blame Lenovo...

Yeah I saw that too, the Maxx 2 came out in Oct and I think this is its first update. I used one briefly but it had screen issues so ended up returning it for another turbo.
Just filled out a droid turbo soak test survey let's hope this is a good sign of things to come
I also received an invitation for this.
I thought I signed up for these, but have never gotten one. I really hope this means we get Marshmallow soon!
I guess they didn't like my feedback from the last soak. I haven't gotten anything.
Hey guys. I am rooted and currently running the 6.0.1 Asia release image. Just wondering if anyone knows why there's been such a delay in getting the OTA for the US variant? I've really enjoyed using the Moto X and with the Moto Credit i opened it would have been easy for me to justify upgrading to the 2016 version when it is announced. But being as OCD as i am about timely OS updates, going back to the nexus line is looking like a better option as the days go by. I get that 6.0.1 is just an incremental update, but that makes me wonder even more why it hasn't been rolled out. I'm hoping that this just means we'll receive Android N as quickly as possible, but i wont hold my breath. Thoughts?

Just because they're discontinuing one line and starting another is no reason to stop updating the previous line. The device is not even one year old. It'd be a terrible (and BS) decision to just drop support for it like it never happened. Especially with them discounting the device so much lately, they'd have a lot of new pissed off users on their hands.
Thinking on it, I honestly think the release of 6.0.1 to a limited number of handsets may specifically be targeted to see what problems will arise. Not the first time a manufacturer has done this. But informing customers would be a good move when doing this.

Wow, Moto does it once, while Samsung has changed theirs 7 times (first was the 1, then 2 then 3 ...... now 7!!!) Must be a VERY slow news day, and he needed something to post.
The life of a report must be VERY hard.
I'm confused about what update is out and for which phone model? My device has been acting a bit finicky at times...
I have build NPN25.137-33
Please provide link to update if ones available to flash manually (non rooted).
BTW anyone notice that retailers are already discontinuing carrying this phone?
I think the G5S is literally about to be released. Seems a bit odd. Also kind of sucks that this phone will be outdated so quickly...
I'm on day 7 of owning this... Should I return it?
I'd like to know myself!
I'm happy so far, owned for a month, nice upgrade from my moto e.
There is a TWRP flashable of the -67 update, works great on the US 64gig version

The new Motorola phone is the Moto Z Play 2, not a G Series phone. Z Series is more expensive (guessing $150 more), but with better features. Also not yet available for retail sale.

Yes...saw all that. Nothing about an actual release date yet though. All still rumors and leaks. I was more focused on something available now, which was what the tangent discussion was about. Sorry for any confusion on my part.
No worries. I do think it'll be released soon. None of the best buys in my city are carrying any version. That's over 10 best buys. So if put money on it releasing this month.
I decided to go ahead and return this though. Kind of frustrated that it only has a January security patch, and still 7.0, despite it being released in February....
Got a cool deal on Swappa for $280 on a mint Axon 7 today. They've been getting regular updates, and have a great dev community!
Specs are much better too. I do love the fingerprint navigation on this Moto though. I'll miss that!
I just got mine at my local Costco the week before last, and their return policy is 60 days, so...
Crazy how this phone has only been out for a few months and Moto is already putting out a new phone. That's way to fast.
Back to the original question, has anyone in the US got the over the air update? I always root but I'm not ready yet. I'm hoping the new update-67 will fix some bugs and update the security.
